WILMINGTON, MASS. (WHDH) - The newest member of the Wilmington Police Department is an 11-week-old Bernedoodle who has a nose for helping out others and providing care for those in need.
Zena and her handler, social worker Samantha Reid, will help town residents who are struggling with mental health, substance use, behavioral health issues, and those who are just having a hard day, according to police.
Officers say she has already mastered the basics of “sit”, “lay” and “come” but is still working on “stay.” They say she has already provided a ton of smiles to her coworkers at the station and is looking forward to getting out into the community.
